Omschrijving

Winner of the 2023 Berkshire Prize for a First or Second Book of Poetry, Jalousie works toward a poetics of analysis.

The "I-centered," first person, yet experimental poems in Jalousie explore the ways in which expression of the deeply personal experience is both dictated to and altered by rigid societal expectations. The speaker of these highly personal poems can't help but view language as a historical artifact, the DNA of past worlds, as these poems delve into the complexities of sorting out one's individual identity amid broader cultural contexts. Paty's poems attempt to connect the personal, private, intimate persona with elements that are always external--external not only to this poet but to every person.

These poems seek to capture fleeting moments of personal connection despite the impossibility of language, the societal dictates of gender roles, the pressures of making a living, the inexorable march of time, and the bewildering strangeness of architectural spaces. At the heart of this collection is "Premise," an extensive poem that weaves in detours through the history of New York City, themes of discard, references to Bruegel's "Wedding Dance," and discussions on representation and memory. The book also contains three full-color illustrations which augment the poet's themes and concerns.
